Quote by Renata Adler

It is always self-defeating to pretend to a generation younger than your own it simply erases your own experience in history.

It is always self-defeating to pretend to a generation young

Summary

This quote emphasizes the foolishness and futility of trying to conform or pretend to belong to a younger generation. By doing so, one not only disregards their own valuable life experiences and wisdom gained through history but also fails to authentically connect with the younger generation. It highlights the importance of embracing and sharing one's own unique experiences rather than trying to erase or deny them in an attempt to fit in or be accepted by a younger age group.

Current theories on the creation of the Universe state that, if it were created at all and didn't just start, as it were, unofficially, it came to being between ten and twenty thousand million years ago. By the same token the earth itself is generally supposed to be about four and a half thousand million years old.These dates are incorrect.Medieval Jewish scholars put the date of the Creation at 3760BC. Greek Orthodox theologians put Creation as far back as 5508BC.These suggestions are also incorrect.Archbishop James Usher (1580-1656) published Annales Veteris et Novi Testamenti in 1654, which suggested that the Heaven and the Earth were created in 4004BC. One of his aides took the calculation further, and was able to announce triumphantly that the Earth was created on Sunday the 21st of October, 4004BC, at exactly 9.00 a.m., because God liked to get work done early in the morning while he was feeling fresh.This too was incorrect. By almost a quarter of an hour.The whole business with the fossilized dinosaur skeletons was a joke the paleontologists haven't seen yet.
